COL" TILLMAN ,PAIJ DTO SE!'d BAIL.BETHE HBEARING ON THB APPLICATION CONWVCLUDBD IN COLUMBIA YBSTBRDAY.}'Among Affidavits Was One From B. J.Watson, City Editor the State-JudgePope Held Malice in Shooting WasEvident on the Part of Tillman.[Special to Herald and News.]Columbia, February 19, 5.10 p. m. -Chief Justice Pope today refused togrant bail to James H. Tillman. Mr.Justice Pope held that Tillman hadprovocation for the killing, but thatthere was malice evident.THE FULL STORY.Columbia, January 19. -Chief JusticeY. J. Pope this morning heard themotion for bail for J. H. Tillman.At the hearing at Newberry Holtzenbach, of Edgefield, testified that he hadheard Mr. Gonzales say that he wouldmake Tillman show the white feather.This was corroborated by Mr. J. A.White, doorkeeper in the Senate, whomodified by saying that he did notknow where the man was but that hehes d the remarks.'loday the State produced witnessesto show that White is feeble-minded.In reply Senator B. R. Tillman andex-Treasurer W. H. Timmerman testified as to White's veracity and propermental state.Answers of affidavits were submittedby Holtzenbach's neighbors, who swearhis lack of veracity, and the defensesubmitted affidavits in reply from Dr.Timmerman and others.The prosecution produced affidavitsto show that Tillman was the one whohad made threats, that Gonzales madeno demonstration, and that his handswere in his overcoat pockets, trumbsout, and that they had been thrust intothe pockets.Dr. Lancaster, a legislator fromSprtanburg, saw Tillman's pistols theday before the shooting.In reply was an affidavit from MissRoper, a trained nurse of Spartanbuig,who declared that in attending Mr.Gonzales' uncle, Captain Elliott, thatshe heard Gonzales remark that Tillmanhad showed the white feather and heard>r him speak ill of Tillman.The prisoner himself presented anafr-iavit setting forth the editorial attacL made upon him in the State newspaper since 1890.An affidavit was read from C. E.Black, a railroad man, saying that Tillman had told him that he intended tokill Gonzales and that Tillman hadshowed him the pistol with which hewas goinfg to commit the deed.Representative Gauze said he hadheard Tillman say that he told his wifethat he didn't know where he wvouldSboard in Columbia; that it might be inthe Penitentiary.E. J. Watson, city editor of the State,-the paper of which N. G. Gonzales wvaseditor, submitted an affidavit in whichhe said that Tillman made a request of~him to tell Gonzales that he (Tillman)intended to kill him.Tillman denied all these statementsand again asserted that Gonzales glaredat him and made a move as if to pull apistol.At 11.30 the readling of aflidavits wasconcluded.Col. P. H. Nelson led for the defense,followed by Mr. Andrew Crawvford andSMr. Bellinger for the prosecution. Col.~Croft made the concluding argument~for the defense.Chief Justice Pope at 4:10 rendered'a decision declining to grant TillmnanIball and allowv him to p)resent a petitionto any other Judge.THEIRE WAS SUPPRESSEDl 5MoT'IoN.Over one hundred p)eop)le hung wvithCbreathless attention on the wvords ofthe Chief Justice as, with evidentlysuppressed emotion, lie announced hisdecision.It was the rule of the Court, he said,in such cases to make no explanation ofthe reasons governing the decision.During eleven years, he said, as shownby the testimony which has been submitted, the attacks upon Colonel Tfillman were an ordleal for him to bearan ordeal almost unpai allelled in SouthCarolina. It wvould be hard to believeundler these attacks malice had not beenimlalnted in that applicant's breast.Murder is the taking of human lifewith malice aforethought. With theoath of office so recently upon his lips,Chief Justice Pope said he must (10 hisduty andl decline the application withOut prejudice to the case of the dlefendlan t.Any Cook Good Enough."Clifton" flour makes the sweetestand most nutritious biscuits that eveicame out of the oven-andl any cook isa good enough cook to make them.

GRFXAN, Woodbury, N.JTHE STORM IN THE COUNTY.Great Wind and Rain-Small DamageWith No Fatalities-Lighter Herethan Elsewhere.The rain poured down in torrents andthe wind blew great guns in Newberryon Monday afternoon and night. Themercury went down and overcoats wentup and the weather is the general topicof conversationIt was a storm that swept over theentire State, being most severe in theupper and northwestern part. It started Monday afternoon with one of thehardest rains seen in years. The windrose and rapidly gained velocity untilby nine o'clock it had reached a pointbetween twenty and thirty miles anhour. By eleven o'clock it was a regular gale, and many were those in thislocality who spent the night in sleeplessanxiety, expecting each moment to seethe roof of the house take its departureor to be crushed beneath a falling tree.Reports from different parts of thestate indicate that Newberry suffered agood deal less than a majority of theother sections. As will be seen fromreports published elsewhere in thispaper, at Honea Path two young menwere instantly killed, and two othersprobably fatally injured. In AikenCounty several children were crushedto death by falling trees and chimneys.In this county, so far as can be ascertained, there were no fatalities. Thestreams were so badly swollen thatsome of them could not be crossed, and.the mail route to Saluda and one ortwo others were stopped for a time .Telegraph and telephone poles fell, andfor a few hours on Tuesday morningthe city had no connection with the outside world.At Little Mountain the roof of thenew Lutheran church, which was partially destroyed by wind some time ago,was badly damaged. Near Kinards atenant house on J. A. Dominick's placewas blown off its pillows. A barn belonging to C. A. King was blown over,sti-iking his dwelling house and knocking off a portion of one corner.Throughout the county several smallhouses were unroofed,and two or threechimneys blown to different parts ofthe earth. Out at McIntosh heights, amile and a half from the Court House,seventeen large trees were felled in avery limited area.The greatest inconvenience sufferedby the people of Newberry County wasfrom the sudden drop of the mercury.Until late Monday afternoon the weatherwas very mild. Monday was almost aspring (lay. Tuesday morning theearth was frozen, and around theseparts the inhabitants thereof. Thewind had not entirely subsided; Tuesdryand though the sun shone brightly, itwas a raw, cold day. The weather hasmoderated somewhat, but it is still cold.The condition of the roads before thefreeze was terrible. They are nowfrozen and travel is about as hard as itwas before.The Storm at Chappells.Chappells, Feb. 19. -The cyclonestruck this p)lace about four o'clockMonday afternoon. On the wvest sideof Mrs. F. E. Boazman's p)lantation,out of a large pine forest there wvasscarcely a tree left standing. Most ofthem were large enough for saw logs.They wvere either torn up by the rootsor twvisted off from five to twenty feetabove the ground. In this piece ofwoods p)robably five hundred trees wereblown dowvn.The path of the cyclone at this placewvas about 150 yards widle. Just as itgot through the woods it struck a negrohouse with twvo rooms~ built of logs.This it instantly~ tore to pieces. Therewvere seven negroes in the house at thetime and it is a miracle that none ofthem was hurt. Thence it passedacross the field a little to the right ofMrs. Boazman's dIwelling, but not far.enough to miss it entirely. Withintwventy yards of the dIwelling it strucka frame building inhabited by a negrowoman wvith four small children. Allescaped with a few bruises. Trhe stoveand dining rooms of Mrs. Boazman 'sdlwelling were blown about Len feet offthe p)illows. Besides these severalsmall houses and many fences in thepath of the wind wvent down. Manywvindow sash and chinneys weresmashed. Some dlamag') was also doneto negro houses on R. G. Williams'p)lace and at ,Johnson and Wilk'ms' sawvmill. TIhis makes f-ne second time anegro house on the Botuzman place hasbeen torn to pieces by a cyclone.The cotton stalks along the way werestrip)ped of every boll.

E. Hunter movedlast week from Long Lane into Mr.Thos. L. B. Epps' residence.Mr. George Richardson and familyhave moved from the Newberry Cottonmill to near his old home place.Our old friend, S. A. Rikard, of LungLane, was with us for the past twoweeks.It seems that -nothing would do ourfriend, Representative Aull, butkto godown on record in favor of the ChildLabor Law. While we feel quite surehe is wrong,.yet we believe that he is sincere in his way of thinking. Mr. Aullis a public spirited man, and heldoesn'tbelieve in standing still.Mrs. H. R. Epps, who has spent thepast few weeks with her daughter,Mrs. S. A. Rikard and family, returnedhome last Sunday.Well, it has rained and rained. Wehave had very few days of sunshinesince Christmas. But the weather isall right. When it is wet we oughtnot to fret. The man who must dependon muscular power for his support hashad a pretty tough time for the pasttwo months. But there is no need ofrepining, for where there's a willthere's a way. Tomorrow the sun maybe shining, although its cloudy today.lion. E. H. Aull has made a noble andmanly fight in the Legislature for whatwe conceive to be one of the most important measures that confront the people of South Carolina today, and especially Newberry County. That is a mcasure to improve the condition of our public highways. This is a matter thatneeds careful consideration, and one inwhich everybody is or should be interested. There is no doubt that the plowman is the driving wheel to all otherindustries of the world. The productsof the field must be carried to market.and they must go there over the public highways. We haven't seen the original copy of Mr. Aull's Good RoadsBill, but we are inclined to think thathe made a mistake in asking the rightto issue bonds-- not only for road purposes, but for any other purpose. Webelieve it is too much to ask the peopleto vote all at once an amount of bondssufficient to build good roads. So muchof the State's money has of late beenmisappropriated that the people havebecome indignant at the very thoughtof taxation, and it is a very easy matter to bring about discontent by mentioning high taxation for longperiod. I heartily agree with Mr.Aull that taxation is the only wayby which we will ever accomplishanything in the improvement of ourpublic roads, and it is the rightand the equitable mode. But I dIon'tbelieve it to be good p)olicy to ask fortoo much at once. If Mr. Aull hadleft off the bond q1uestion1 and asked forone and a half mill levy an all prop)ertyas a road fund we believe lhe wvouldhave come nearer getting such a imeasure through, and then in a fewv yearswhen the p)eople began to derive thegood that would have come from thisamount thefe would have been no troumble to get them to vote a sufficientamnount of bonds. At all events, wecongratulate Mr. Aull upon his manlyeffort along this line, and the p)eoplecan rest assured that he will continueto p)ersevere in this direction.Misses Ida and Florence Kiniard, ofWest End, sp)ent last Saturday nightwith their brother, G.
